Making a mission assessment is not as straightforward as you might imagine. Realize that the people in positions of leadership may not be the thought leaders within the institution. So, there are two classes of leaders to consider, the thought leaders and the positional leaders. The views of both classes of leader are important to your work. Get a clear articulation of the goals of the hospital leaders. This is a time for integrity and truth-telling because the power and the joy of your work will hang on these overriding goals. When the mission statement is in alignment with the leaders’ stated goals, the mission statement becomes a powerful tool in your hands.
